Title: What is the proportion of rares to ultra-rares in a box?
Post by: stefferweffer on November 20, 2009, 04:33:56 PM
In your standard box of 45 boosters, like Apostles, Kings, Patriarchs, Priests, etc.  About how many ultra-rares can you expect among those 45 packs?

Thanks.

In my personal experience, I would be inclined to say something like...2. :P I'm sure the norm is much higher, as I see other people getting UR's all the time. ::)

Aren't you supposed to get a r/ur in every pack?

You get either an R or a UR. He's asking what the chances are of getting a UR as opposed to a R. To expound, I believe UR's have half the printing of R's, which would mean 15 out of 45 should be UR's on average, unless I'm mistaken.

it usually takes me 2-3 boxes to get 1 of each ultra rare for a set.

It depends on the set, but generally you can expect 1-5 ultra rares in a box. I have opened some with none, but I believe 5 or 6 is the most I've ever had in one box, and I've opened my fair share. ;)

The Average for pre Priest from what ive seen is around 3-6 Ultras while Priest is just all over the place. Ive seen multiple Priest boxes with no Ultra's and the highest ive seen was one with like 10 :o

Hey,

In theory you get a complete rare sheet (save the promo row) in two boxes.  So the average number of Ultra rares per box should be half the number of ultra rares in the set.  So 8 for Apostles, 5 for Kings, Patriarchs and Warriors, and 6 for Priests.

Tschow,
